Go Beyond Open Water

Now that you’ve earned your PADI Open Water Diver certification your diving adventure has just begun. There’s a long list of specialties and continuing education that you can jump into. These courses will take you to new diving spots and expand your scuba skills.

The Ultimate Goal – Master Scuba Diver

The PADI Master Scuba Diver certification is the highest recognition for recreational divers. To earn the Master Scuba Diver certification you need the Advanced Open Water Diver certification, 5 PADI specialties, the Rescue Diver and 50 dives under your belt! It’s a great goal that every diver should work towards. Checkout the individual courses below and get started on your path to Master Scuba Diver!

PADI Advanced Open Water

Explore the diving adventures beyond the 60-foot depth rating that you earned with your PADI Open Water certification. PADI Advanced Open Water trains you to manage dives in different environments: additional underwater navigation techniques, diving to 100 feet, diving in a current, diving at night, and more.

Speciality Courses

PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy

Invest some time with our experienced instructors to fine-tune your buoyancy control, as well as learn and practice different anti-silting finning techniques. If you’re interested in adding underwater photography or videography to your diving fun, solid buoyancy control is absolutely critical.

PADI Deep Diver

Many interesting shipwrecks, especially here in Canadian waters, are beyond the 60-foot rating of Open Water divers and the 100-foot rating of Advanced Open Water divers. Learn how to manage dives to 130 feet with the PADI Deep Diver specialty.

PADI Drift Diver

PADI Wreck Diver

Ever wanted to go inside a wreck to see its interior and its artefacts? Wreck penetration is a fun addition to your diving skill set. You’ll learn greater awareness of the thrills and potential hazards of diving on shipwrecks, work with spools and reels that help secure your position inside a shipwreck so that you can easily exit the wreck, and more.

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver

As you become a more relaxed diver, your air consumption will improve. At this point, you’ll often find yourself in a position where you have to end your dive because you’ve reached your no-decompression limit while still having enough air to stay a little longer. Enriched Air Nitrox gives you that extra time you need to finish shooting that video sequence, capture a shot, or simply to spend more time with a friendly turtle.

PADI Equipment Specialist

Don’t miss a dive due to a scuba gear issue. Whether it’s a blown o-ring, regulator problem, wetsuit tear or a broken fin strap, you can learn how to manage basic scuba equipment adjustments. As a PADI Equipment Specialist, you are prepared for the basic scuba equipment maintenance, care and adjustments you’ll encounter every day. In addition, you’ll learn interesting background information about how your gear works, how it’s repaired and other information that helps you with your equipment investment.

PADI Digital Underwater Photographer

Underwater photography is one of the most gratifying add-on to a diver’s experience. Learn how to turn your all-blue, not-overly-exciting photo into shots that make your friends and family say, “Wow, you should try to sell your photos!” We can’t turn you into a professional underwater photographer, but we can share practical tips and skills to help you improve your photography.

PADI Night Diver

Training to Handle Emergencies

PADI Rescue Diver

“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. Building upon what you’ve already learned, this course expands on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur. The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers find this course both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.

Emergency First Responder

CPR (cardio-pulmonary rescusitation) and first aid are simple yet potentially life-saving skills that anyone should have. Not all of o our Emergency First Responder course participants are divers: family members who are non-divers often join us to learn and practise these important skills.

PADI Oxygen Provider

For divers, oxygen is an important part of our first aid kit. When a diving emergency situation occurs, our first course of action is to manage any potential decompression illness, and oxygen is the tool of choice. Learn how to handle and administer this special gas.
